Queens Democratic Party endorses Cuomo in mayoral race
Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo secured the endorsement of the Queens Democratic Party on Sunday, strengthening his frontrunner status in the race for mayor.
Cuomo, a Queens native, received the backing of the borough’s Democratic organization and its chairman, Meeks. The endorsement marks a significant show of support as Cuomo seeks a political comeback following his 2021 resignation.
“Look at this around you – that’s Queens County – the people’s borough, and we got our guy from Queens County that’s going to lead this city of New York,” Meeks said.
Meeks, a powerhouse in both city and national politics, framed Cuomo as the strongest candidate to challenge the White House.
“The last person that Washington, D.C. wants to see be mayor of the city of New York is Andrew Cuomo,” he said.
